About the book

After all, they don't have a lot of money, and they've only been together a little while. But sometimes the most impractical dreams lead to the most extraordinary adventures. The Olive Farm is the story of the highs and lows of purchasing the farm and embracing life in Provence: discovering local customs and cuisine; surviving the threats of fire and adopting a menagerie of animals; facing potential financial ruin and experiencing the thrill of harvesting their own olives—especially when they are discovered to produce the finest extra-virgin olive oil. The first in Carol Drinkwater's bestselling series set on a Provençal olive farm, this is a sun-drenched memoir of life, love, and following your heart to find your corner of paradise.
